My Ray Bradbury phase...and YOU

Amazing art here.  Nowadays this would be Olivia Wilde or something,
so count yr blessings.

I'm on a Ray Bradbury kick for some reason, can't even remember how and why I thought this was a good idea, unless I remembered how much I liked "Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed" in eight grade English.  Maybe that was it.  Anyway, here is How to Write a Ray Bradbury Story.

1. bucolic opening, Mom and Dad, two kids, maybe a dewy meadow is mentioned
2. rocket shows up, tells of terrible "atom war" which has finally happened
3. page of tension
4. some shock/twist revelation, like the kids both turn into plants due to " the weird [planet name] sun"
5. resigned calm

Feel free to tweak this - just general guidelines.
